I turned to see Kira walking up to me dressed in a dazzling red dinner gown. She looked beautiful despite her baby bump. It’s a pity her heart is so dark
“Bumping into you for the second time today can only spell bad luck, Kira,“1 said.
Kira frowned, “Why? You’re the one who’s always in an unfortunate situation.”
I frowned, “I can’t see you making any effort to go inside either.”
Kira chuckled, “Oh please. Drew was specially invited to this party and he’s going to finally get his big contract he’s been wanting for two years now.”
I laughed, “Is that so? Then, by all means, go inside.”
“Drew went to get our invites. He forgot it in the car,” Kira said then smirked as she pulled out her phone, “Also, I sent you a message earlier tonight and I noticed it didn’t go.”
I shrugged, “There’s something called blocking, bitch.”
Kira giggled, “Aw, you’re already sad when you haven’t seen my message.”

She flashed her phone in front of my face and I caught sight of the naked picture she took with Andrew while lying in his arms. I wasn’t the least fazed.
“You can have him, Kira, why do you still keep trying to prove you’ve got him?” I scoffed.
Suddenly her face turned teary as she held my hand, “All I’m saying is that you give him a chance.”
I yanked my hand away from her touch like I’d been burned and she stumbled backward, losing her balance “Get away from me,” I snapped.
In an instant, Andrew was beside her as he caught her. Then he glared at me.
“What is wrong with you, Lily? You almost pushed her down again,” he hissed at me
Kira’s lips wobbled as she stared at me, “Don’t worry, Drew, Lily is just misunderstanding us. I was only trying to beg on your behalf”
I suddenly understood why she did what she did and I chuckled, clapping my hands
“What a vain performance. You’d win the Oscars if you go into acting, Kira, that was excepti
exceptional,” I scoffed
“Stop it, Lily!” Andrew snapped, “Kira is just trying to help, I’m sick of your jealousy ruining things between us.”
“Please, if you aren’t with your invite, I’ll have to ask you to leave. We don’t want anyone constituting a nuisance tonight,” the security man said.
Andrew presented his invitation card and frowned when he saw I had none.
“Can she come in? She’s with me,” he said.
The big guy looked skeptical while the small guy whispered that he’s a special guest.
The security guy nodded, “Alright but if she causes any trouble we’ll throw her out.”
“Let’s go, we need to talk,” Andrew said, grabbing my arm.
I didn’t want to follow him initially because I knew Lance would arrive soon but I decided to let them think they had rescued me.
As we entered inside, Kira sniggered, “Why do you put yourself through such embarrassment, Lily? Dressing up seductively and coming to stand at the entrance of an exclusive elite party”
I wasn’t stupid, I could understand the meaning behind her words but I kept quiet, deciding it was best to ignore
her as we were ushered into the party.
Everywhere was filled with a lot of distinguished people and the decorations were top–notch. I was impressed with Lance, he was able to pull off something spectacular in just one day.
“Soak it all in, soon it will be mine,” Kira whispered in my
ears.
I sighed, she was like an annoying fly that wouldn’t stop buzzing in my ear.
*Just hold on, Kira, we’ll be back,” he said to her, before dragging me toward the balcony. Adam spotted me and I
gave him a sign that I was alright.
“What do you want?” I hissed at him the moment we were on the balcony and away from guests
Andrew looked taken aback by my hostile expression, “Why are you yelling at me? You should be grateful! rescued you rather than leave you there to be thrown out.”
I scoffed, “I didn’t ask you to rescue me, Andrew. I would have found my way inside regardless.”
Andrew frowned, “How? By seducing the next guest who arrived? You seem to be forgetting that you’re a married
woman!”
I chuckled, “You should be talking about seduction to Kira, she’s a pro at it. And yes, I am a married woman, how
can I forget that?”
Andrew smiled, “I’m glad we’re getting somewhere, Lilly. I know you were jealous of the attention I’ve been giving Kira but after this deal, we can go back home. Kira will deliver in two months and then she’ll leave. I’ll hire son people to look after her.”
I stared at him and I smiled, “It’s so sad how naive you are, Andrew, it’s almost pathetic.”
Andrew’s face crumpled into a frown, “What do you mean by that?”
“I mean I’m married but not to you and if you think you’re done with Kira then that’s just so sad.”
Andrew grabbed my arm, “What nonsense are you saying, Lily?”
“Let me go!” I struggled against him, but he wouldn’t leave me
Just then a cold voice sounded behind us, “What is going on here and why are you harassing my wife?”
